I am getting some dupes in my TV rss feeds from nzbs.org

I set up My Searches like so:

^MythBusters.s08 hdtv in TV-x264 excluding blu-ray, dvd

but many times, multiple release groups release the same episode so I get dupes.

Is there an option to pass the Final Path & name of the episode to the Post processing script, so I can auto erase the dupes through my script?

I know there's an option to not redownload if the same nzb exists in history, but they have different names b/c they are from different release groups.

Thanks for the help

Have a look at this thread.

basically the final script will scan your download directory, and if there are duplicate files, it will delete the older of the two files.

I had the idea of this script for the handling of proper and repack releases, but it turns out that it works nicely for duplicate releases by separate groups. 

Thanks, that helps but not totally. I hate having additional software running on my machine, like TV Rename or whatever. I prefer a script to be triggered and quit.

With that being said, it looks like 0.6.0's pre queue function will do exactly what I need, in the meantime I'll run a scheduled task to wipe the duplicates.

Thanks for the help

you don't need to have any additional software for this to work, just take out the part of the script that is for the duplicate checking and have that run as part of your post processing. just make sure that you are using sab to rename your video files.
